Mine (via 9.0 urpmi) went fairly smoothy - despite that an upgrade downloaded over 600 megs' worth of new RPMS :(. There was a little glitch with apache (having both apache and apache2) but that doesn't seem to affect anything here. I did lose functionality on the printer, which I thought strange, but a delete and then adding a new printer fixed that problem. (The printer would accept jobs but they'd mysteriously go to /dev/null.) > I'm going to try 9.1 and if the problem with packages remains, bye bye You might try debian as well. Gentoo is supposed ho have a ports system. I don't have enough experience to determine whether ports is superior. In my (prior) experience with slackware, you basically upgraded packages yourself, picked what you wanted to upgrade too, grabbed the source code and recompiled. There wasn't any real upgrade path other than reinstalling with a newer distro.
